• Regional Highlights
4Q16 operating EBITDA increased by 28% on a like-to-like basis with a margin expansion of 0.5pp
Cement volume improvement reflects positive performance in the industrial-and-commercial, formal housing and self-construction sectors
Full-year price growth for our three core products in local-currency terms; cement and ready-mix prices also increased sequentially
The industrial-and-commercial sector was supported by commercial activity, as well as warehouse and industrial-park construction
The formal residential sector was supported by stable investment from INFONAVIT and by strong investment from the banking sector
The self-construction sector benefited from growth in remittances, consumption credit, and job creation

Debt-related information
During the quarter: We repurchased approximately US$242 million of 7.250% senior
secured notes due 2021 through a cash tender offer
In relation to our Credit Agreement, we pre-paid in November US$373 million corresponding to the September 2017 amortization under the Credit Agreement; in exchange for this prepayment, US$664 million of funded commitments in the Credit Agreement maturing in 2018 were exchanged into a revolving facility, maintaining the same terms and conditions, including amortization schedule.
In January: S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") upgraded our Corporate credit rating
in its global scale to BB- from B+ and to mxA- from mxBBB in its national scale, which will allow CEMEX to potentially access the institutional Mexican bond market. The rating outlook is stable.
In February: CEMEX Holdings Philippines, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of CEMEX,
signed an agreement for a 7-year loan facility for up to the Philippine Peso equivalent of US$280 million, to refinance indebtedness owed to an indirect subsidiary of CEMEX. In turn, CEMEX expects to apply the net proceeds to general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
